Examples

### copy data into 'dat'
dat <- dat.bcg

### calculate log risk ratios and corresponding sampling variances
dat <- escalc(measure="RR", ai=tpos, bi=tneg, ci=cpos, di=cneg, data=dat)

### fit random-effects model
res <- rma(yi, vi, data=dat)

### get 95% CI for tau^2, tau, I^2, and H^2
sav <- confint(res)
sav
#> 
#>        estimate   ci.lb   ci.ub 
#> tau^2    0.3132  0.1197  1.1115 
#> tau      0.5597  0.3460  1.0543 
#> I^2(%)  92.2214 81.9177 97.6781 
#> H^2     12.8558  5.5303 43.0680 
#> 

### turn object into a regular data frame
as.data.frame(sav)
#>          estimate      ci.lb     ci.ub
#> tau^2   0.3132433  0.1196953  1.111486
#> tau     0.5596815  0.3459701  1.054270
#> I^2(%) 92.2213861 81.9177227 97.678090
#> H^2    12.8557608  5.5302769 43.067984

### copy data into 'dat'
dat <- dat.berkey1998

### construct block diagonal var-cov matrix of the observed outcomes based on variables v1i and v2i
V <- vcalc(vi=1, cluster=author, rvars=c(v1i, v2i), data=dat)

### fit multivariate model
res <- rma.mv(yi, V, mods = ~ 0 + outcome, random = ~ outcome | trial, struct="UN", data=dat)
